banning tin part deux

Money quote from James Jordan's story on window ordinance in Tuesday's paper.

Commissioner Patrick McDonald
“If we give them a year they will find a way. If we don’t start it never will happen."


That said, I'm for giving some folks, like Sybrant, more than a year to fix the windows. He says he has 68 of them on the downtown buliding. But the question that comes up is, when is the city going to summon the courage to start setting standards for appearance that the community deserves?


(Speaking of code enforcement, whatever happended to the property by the bridge the city was trying to clean up? Looks the same as far as I can tell.)
